About
Connecting people to tell stories and make something bigger than any one person drives me.
Attention to detail while holding an understanding of big picture combined with creative problem solving make me very effective, particularly in resource restricted environments. If you want someone who will proactively identify opportunities and help bring everything together, I am that person.
I am always looking for ways to make a good project a great project and have fun in the process.
On set in Kinshasa DRC.
I am a bilingual Communications and Creative professional with 10+ year track record making things that bridge cultures and tell stories across the U.S., Africa, Asia, and Europe.
I use my camera as a conversation starter.
My passion is collaborative, multicultural projects and strategic content creation.
My work style is Swiss Army Knife with sparkles.
My focus is process driven content creation. Because the journey is as important as the destination, and content creation at its best can connect people while also targeting key objectives such as human empowerment, building/reinforcing community, civic engagement, capacity building, education, fundraising, etc.
Whether it is the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, the global research headquarters for General Electric, or the Governors office in Lincoln, Nebraska, I know how to get things done with flare and a smile.
My range of experience give me the ability to come onto a project, or join a team and be effective at speed, connecting with people regardless of the environment.
Living up to my name as something of a wanderer, France and the French language have been a lode stone in my life that brought me from a upbringing immersed in the world of children’s theatre in Kansas City, Kansas to producing a behavior change communications platform on the streets of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“Not all who wander are lost” (J.R. Tolkien) and my wandering star continues to steer me well.
I have a Master of Arts in Global Communications and Bachelor of Arts in French Studies from The American University of Paris in Paris, France. Plus my Diplôme de Français des Affaires - I Degré (DFA I) from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Paris (CCIP) in Paris, France. Complete curriculum vitae and further references upon request.
In my free time, I enjoy mentoring kids of all ages, sewing and making crafts, planning events, discovering hidden nature in Paris, and hanging out with my cat, fish and husband while plotting the next adventure.
